Peake in Switzerland

A major exhibition displaying many of the original illustrations produced for such classics as Treasure Island, Grimms Household Tales, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, Swiss Family Robinson and others, will open on 25th September 2009 and run until February 4th 2010.

La Maison d'Ailleurs (The House of Elsewhere) is the only public museum in the world dedicated exclusively to Science Fiction, Utopia and Extraordinary Journeys, and will host this first comprehensive Mervyn Peake show of his illustration.

About Me

Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with the energy and detail which Sebastian used to keep us up-to-date with any news of his father's work, particularly during the centenary year, 2011.
His sudden death has been a great shock to his friends and family but the promotion of his father's work will continue under the guidance of his brother and sister, Fabian and Clare.
I worked with Sebastian on the blog and will continue to add details of events and new publications as well as any other news when it becomes available.
